A full replacement here is a tear off rather than a layover, and 6 of the 177 roofers listed in Chicago metro do them.
At a glance
- A tear off lets the roofer see the decking. A layover hides it.
- Ask for ice and water membrane at the eaves and in every valley.
- The quote should name the number of squares and the shingle line.
- Ventilation gets fixed during a replacement or it never gets fixed.

Common questions
How long does a full roof replacement take
A typical house is one to three days once the crew is on site. Weather and a complicated roof shape stretch it.
What time of year is best for a new roof
Late spring through fall. Shingles need warmth to seal, so winter work is possible but often needs hand sealing.
How many squares is my roof
A square is 100 square feet of roof surface. A common house here lands between 20 and 35 squares once the pitch is counted.
